So, for last minute supplies and accessories, we’ve got the best selection and the best prices for music educators and their music programs. The Educator Website provides an incredibly easy way for you to shop for music accessories at your convenience and with your educator discounts! If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the perfect time.

Reeds

Woodwind players go through boxes and boxes of reeds – as you know only too well! Make sure your students have the saxophone and clarinet reeds they need to sound their best. Stocking a wide variety of strengths and brands will allow woodwind players to find their best sound, especially since as they get better at playing, they may wish to move to harder strength reeds. Stock up on Vandoren V12 Bb Clarinet Reeds and Vandoren Alto Saxophone Reeds. 

Percussion Accessories

Students who play the drums, marimbas, xylophones and other concert percussion use and abuse their percussion accessories. Be sure you’ve got plenty of back up drum sticks and mallets, drum heads, tuning tools and practice pads to keep your percussion students sounding their best! Brands like Vic Firth make excellent percussion accessories like the Vic Firth M131/132 Rubber Xylo Mallets. 

  Brass Accessories

Brass instruments rely on well-oiled valves, cloths and swabs, and high-quality mouthpieces and mutes to look and sound their best. Provide your brass players with plenty of brass accessories so they keep their instruments in top-top shape. You can also introduce mutes like the Jo-Ral TPT-1A straight mute to provide new sounds and tones to excite your concert audiences.

Orchestral Strings Accessories

Your strings players bring drama and excitement to concert pieces. While the string instruments are, of course, critical to the sound, strings accessories like rosin and bows are absolutely critical to providing the best playing experience for vioin, viola and cello players. For educators looking for high-quality string accessories to fit your budget, go for items like the Bellafina Student Brazilwood Violin Bow 1/8 Size Brazilwood

Other Music Accessories

All of your musicians, no matter their level of playing or chosen instrument, rely on accessories like stands, racks, tuners and metronomes to develop good practice behaviors, proper posture and an understanding of what an instrument sounds like when it’s in tune. When stocking up for concert season, don’t forget to do an audit of your general music accessories and restock supplies before you’re in the thick of concert season.
